I Am Glad - Lara George
In the middle of the trial
We find a place to laugh
In the heart of wicked justice
We've forged ahead to grow
Bumpy roads and darkened homelands
Don't kill our will you know
Still we gotta go
When the road that stands before you
Looks like it never ends
When the fire would devour you
Or so it seems my friend
Well the more you sing
The more you will make
That trouble bend
Sing and let it end oh yeah
I am glad
Glad to walk the earth
I am glad that I was born a Nigerian
I am glad glad to be alive
Glad that I was born
I am glad oh I am happy
I am glad to be a part of destiny
I am glad glad to walk the earth
Glad that I was born oh yeah
In the absence of a visa
With nowhere left to go
We must stay and build up this
Our illustrious land of gold
Happily with hearts
Of bliss as we work it yes we know
Oh we'll let it grow oh yes
I am glad
Glad to walk the earth
I am glad that I was born a Nigerian
I am glad glad to be alive
Glad that I was born
I am glad oh I am happy
I am glad to be a part of destiny
I am glad glad to walk the earth
Glad that I was born there's a place
There's a place inside the dreamer
That is reaching for the stars
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
There's a place inside the dreamer
That is reaching for the stars
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
I'll make it to the sky
I'm happy yes I am
I am glad I am glad
I am glad
I am glad I am glad
If I could
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
Oh I am happy
I am glad I am glad
Glad to be alive
I am glad I am glad
If I could
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
Glad to be alive
I am glad I am glad
Glad that I was born
I am glad I am glad
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
I'll make it to the sky
Glad to be alive
I am glad I am glad
I am glad I am glad
If I could only fly
I'd make it up high
Yes I will
